This step tells you how to adapt SAP status management to your specific requirements by creating a Status profile.

SAP status management gives you the option of adding your own user statuses to the system statuses supplied by SAP. You can then assign particular business transactions to the user statuses.

Standard setup

The standard system contains status profile FM000001 which includes the predefined user statuses BUSP (G/L account posting blocked) and MRSP (Funds reservation blocked).

Activities

Define status profiles to meet your requirements as follows:

  1. Create a status profile
  2. Assign the status profile to an object type
  3. Define your user statuses
  4. Assign business transactions to the user statuses
  5. If necessary, translate the status profile and user statuses (menu Go To -> Translation -> Status Translation).

1 Create status profile

To create a status profile, proceed as follows:

  1. Choose Edit -> New entry.
  2. Enter a name of your choice for the status profile.
  3. Enter an explanatory text.
  4. Specify a maintenance language for the status profile.

    Changes and additions to the status profile can only be made in the maintenance language and must then be translated into the other languages you use. This guarantees that the entries in the profile are complete and consistent.

  5. Press Enter to include the status profile in the list.
  6. Save your entries.

2 Assign the status profile to an object type

To be able to use a status profile for objects of a particular object type , you must assign the profile to the relevant object type:

  1. Access the screen Change Status Profile: Overview and position the cursor on the status profile which you want to assign to an object type.
  2. Choose Goto -> Object Types.
  3. Select the object types for which you want to use the status profile in Funds Management.
  4. Save your entries.

3 Define user statuses

To define user statuses for a status profile, proceed as follows:

  1. Access the screen "Change Status Profile: Overview" and position the cursor on the status profile you want to maintain.
  2. Choose Goto -> User status.
  3. For each user status, you must enter a four character language-dependent key, which identifies the status.
  4. You can enter the following for each status.
    1. Enter a Status number in field ONr.
      2. The status number determines the sequence in which the statuses in a status profile can be set.
    2. In the columns "Low" and "High", enter the lowest and highest status numbers.
    3. Enter a short text.
      4. The short text contains a short description of the status.
    4. Enter a long text for the user status.
      5. Choose Goto -> Long text.
    5. If you wish, flag a status as the initial status.
      6. If you do this, the system automatically sets a newly created object at this status. You can only set one status with a status number as the initial status, but as many as you want with no status number.
    6. Use the "Pos" (="Position") field to the position in which the status is displayed in the string in the order header.
    7. Use the "Priority" field to determine the priority the user status has in a position if the same position is specified for more than one active status.
  5. Save your entries.

The standard system includes a sequence of user statuses which you can use if you wish.

4 Assign business transactions to a user status

To do this, proceed as follows:

  1. Position the cursor on the relevant user status.
  2. Choose Goto -> Transaction control.
  3. Choose Edit -> New entries to display a list of the existing business transactions.
  4. Assign the transactions you need to your user statuses.
  5. You can use the "Effect" options to activate the following fields for each transaction:
    1. No Effect
      2. The current user status will have no effect on this transaction.
    2. Permitted
      3. The current user status will permit the transaction.
    3. Warning
      4. The current user status will allow the transaction, but will generate a warning. You choose whether or not to act on the warning.
    4. Forbidden
      5. The current user status forbids this transaction.

      If you want to use a particular business transaction, it must meet the following requirements:

  • At least one active status must permit the transaction
  • The transaction must not be forbidden by any active status

  1. You can use the "Next action" options to determine the effect which carrying out a particular transaction has on the current status:
    1. NoEffect
      2. The transaction neither sets nor deletes this status.
    2. Set
      3. The transaction sets the relevant status.
    3. Delete
      4. The transaction deletes this status. However, if the user status has a status number, you cannot delete it in this way, but must set a follow-up status selected from the other statuses which have a status number.
  2. Save your entries.

5 Translate the status profile and user statuses

You can translate the status profile and the user statuses assigned to it into other languages.

If you want to create a translation, bear the following points in mind:

  • User status can only be created, changed, and deleted in the original maintenance language.
  • If not all the user statuses in a status profile are fully translated, the system displays all the user statuses in the original language.

To translate a status profile, proceed as follows:

  1. Choose Go To -> Translation -> Profile Translation in the status profile overview.
  2. Use the "F4" button to obtain a list of the language abbreviations.
  3. Use the "F2" button to choose the one you want.
  4. Choose Continue
  5. Translate the name of your status profile into the desired language.
  6. Save your translation.

To translate user statuses, proceed as follows:

  1. Position the cursor on the relevant status profile.
  2. Choose Goto -> User Status.

    The system displays a list of all the user statuses in the profile.

  3. Choose Goto -> Translation -> Status translation.
  4. Use the "F4" button to obtain a list of the language abbreviations.
  5. Use the "F2" button to choose the language you want.
  6. Choose Continue
  7. Translate the abbreviation, name, and long text (if any) into the desired language.
  8. Save your translation.
